About

Zerokewl (z3r0k3w1) is most often used to describe introverts; the awkward, the misfits, and the misunderstood. Those few that shun that which is considered “normal” or “safe”, and choose instead to blaze an alternate path.

Being different is often a journey of isolation. Almost zen-like, these masters of the shadow harness this isolation and propel themselves creatively from it. These are the ones that emerge from their bedrooms, garages, and basements to turn heads with the unimaginable. These are the ones that embrace different and never apologize for it.

Zerokewl is the idea that geek is the new cool.

An ironic attribute of nerds, geeks, misfits, nonconformists, introverts, and other individuals who are normally deemed socially unfit and/or unimpressive — inadvertently making them admired and/or setting them apart from others so as to make them elite (leet / 1337).

Used in leetspeak (1337) to ironically describe someone or something as unusually well-liked or cool.

Comfortable by or with oneself.

“Henry was often shunned by his peers because he didn’t attend parties. They didn’t know Henry was too busy, in his mom’s basement, producing the z3r0k3w1 hip-hop beats that they were all bobbing their heads to.”
